Conservatives hate America because of the Olympics blah blah blah

I had been going to write “this situation put conservatives in the odd position of rooting against America,” but the simple fact is, that isn’t odd for conservatives at all. Today’s conservative disdain for the United States is not an isolated incident. They have managed to “love” America so much that they’ve reset the whole scale, and now hate the country in a constant misguided quest to “love” it better than everybody else. They are like the husband who beats his wife because he “cares” about her, except they also don’t want the wife voting or getting an education.

This is the same attitude that drives the conservative zeal for cutting taxes. The United States, they claim, is the best country in the world, and apparently the best way to show that is by not giving it the means to do anything. Taxes are the method by which civilization is paid for; they are an investment in our nation, an investment that conservatives are simply not interested in making. What kind of “patriot” won’t invest in America? That must be love.
